cytoplasm Flashcards
cytoplasm
includes all materials between the plasma membrane and nucleus
cytoplasm includes
cytosol, inclusions, and organelles
cytosol
a viscous fluid that contains water and many dissolved substances such as ions, nutrients, and proteins
some cells store this in their cytosol
inclusions
inclusions are chemicals such as
pigments, nutrient stores, and protein crystals
organelles
structures in cells that perform specific functions
membrane-bound organelles
contents are separate from cytosol
membrane-bound organelles include
endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria
non-membrane-bound organelles
contents are in direct contact with cytosol
non-membrane-bound organelles include
ribosomes, cytoskeleton, centrosomes, centrioles, cilia, flagella, microvilli
